But the calculations had not taken union fees and regulations into account, making the proposed budgeting and scheduling unrealistic. The shoot quickly went both over budget and over schedule. Even without Embassy's interference, however, the production was plagued with difficulties.

She would often show up on set with poorly applied "clown make-up" and messed up hair, oblivious to how she appeared. At one point, shooting was to take place at a bridge overlooking the Detroit River , which was frozen at the time. One evening a glass bottle with a note in it crashed to the ground from an upper floor. The note inside read, "The noise is keeping me awake all night long and I am getting sick. I am dying because of you.

In post-production, Embassy's self-imposed role in making Crimewave was even greater. It did the same with the editor, removing Raimi's influence over the film's final cut. An argument broke out near the end of the post-production between Campbell and the producers. It was such a horrible, horrible, horrible, depressing scene.

After all the editing imposed by the studio, Crimewave still became a box-office flop. Campbell reasoned that "cross-genre" films "send marketing people scurrying under a desk". Upon release, the film "went down in box-office flames", with Campbell commenting "it wasn't released.

Along with Raimi and Campbell, film critics were largely dismissive of the film. A writer for Time Out gave a negative review, writing "despite its ambition and a Coen Brothers script credit, Raimi's second film was a disappointment after his astonishing debut The Evil Dead. He summarized that the film was "not a particularly brilliant movie, and it's easily one of the weakest projects that any of these great filmmakers have been involved in", giving it a weak recommendation.

Leonard Maltin awarded the film two and a half stars out of four, describing it a "weird, almost incoherent crime story.

A scene in a dentist office reminded him of a scene from Spider-Man 2 , a film also directed by Raimi. He commented that "even in his small part Campbell is the most memorable character in the film", also praising the performance of the two exterminators. As filmmakers, we failed to execute a misguided concept and our studio refused us the benefit of any doubt.

In one of the few positive notices, MTV writer Adam Rosenberg described the film as "criminally underrated". The production of the film was a "disaster" according to Campbell, who stated that usually "missteps" like Crimewave lead to the end of a director's career. Raimi and the Coens remained friends, and the duo cast Campbell in some of their films such as The Hudsucker Proxy and Intolerable Cruelty , the former of which was co-written by Raimi. Collider's Matt Goldberg stated, "I think this sketch features the first reference to Crimewave ever".
